Mac Mini 5,3 2012 Server: Has Windows on it--Need to install macOS again

[Smiley_lauf]

PS--posting from OS X El Capitan on a mac mini mid-2011, 5,2 version.

Thanks to gfmalan...he shared the *.bin file, which I used to burn a bootable USB in Windows using ImageUSB app...

You need the *.bin file, not DMG or ISO...the USB does not boot if you are using DMG/ISO to burn the USB.

Anyway...let me get on to the next mission....lockdown fever. ;-)

365 work two versions back on OS, so install High Sierra (also your last supported OS on your hardware).

Let us know!

Quick update: I let El capitan upgrade to High Sierra from the App store--I left it overnight, and this morning it has upgraded fine.
so now on 10.13.x

Guess what...Catalina running fine now, I used dosdude1 patcher, installed from within High Sierra; making USB did not work. Office365 working--synced all accounts..

Now to get to do some work...

Thanks everyone.
